I noticed in the line ups no keeper on bench then very early on Ripley went down holding his thigh, struggled the rest of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowenicki Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Bit odd that he is remaining on the bench though. What was the point of the loan move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Like it or lump it Ripley is on a season long loan at Burton keeping the bench warm hence the Shez comment about people who would rather sit on the bench than play. He got what he wanted in an extension of his contract at Boro. We were played! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad thing is football, especially higher up the leagues, is full of players who don't seem to really care about actually playing that much....it's all about the money these days and clubs like Middlesbrough are awash with TV cash so can have numerous squad and fringe players on the payroll for no particular reason whilst we scramble around trying to put together a ragtag squad....I feckin hate what Sky and the Premier league have done to the game What a shame that Ripley may go down the same route but I guess £5k a week for doing a few mornings training is not a bad life and plenty of time with the wife and kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I've read on here that there's some silly 'rules' that are tagged into loans etc ( iirc i read that some clubs insist that a player plays all the time or the club has to pay double the wage??) .. anways .. maybe when he signed his new contract at 'boro and was allowed out on loan, it was on the proviso he only went to a championship club? .. and Burton were the only ones seemingly interested! the downside for him is that he has to fight for a place, not guaranteed like it would have been for us!

I think it's more likely to be the contribution of wages that we could afford as opposed to Burton. Bad times when a club like Burton can pay more for a second string keeper than we can for one of the best keepers we have had at the club in many people lifetime!

Magister Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Just watching Cardiff on Tv.......what Latics fan would have thought that Etheridge would be playing for the second in the championship while Ripley is on the bench for the bottom of the league.....and think we have got a better keeper than him anyway Cornell will be playing for somebody!s first team next?

astottie Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Yep but who would you prefer taking penalties ripley or ethridge? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler13 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I know I am going to be unpopular when I say this but I think you are all deluded. I think we have a better goalkeeper now than Ripley. Ripley did a good job for us last season however every time he has played for Burton he’s shipped goals and sitting on a bench for half a season means that he’s not up to spead. His shot stopping was great last season but his distribution was very bad. Give me JP any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 If it wasn't for Ripley we would be playing the likes of Accrington and Barnet this season so I for one ain't gonna knock him, of the 30 odd years I've been watching us its as good a season I have seen a keeper have for us and anything Johnny does this season won't eclipse that.

Apart from the fact the whole team was built to defend not concede and maybe grab a winner, Clarke was in the form of his life. Ripley would have struggled in this team and with his distribution he would have have held us back. Jonny p for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
